The hallway light stutters, casting jagged shadows as a heavy, insistent knock pounds against your door. You pull it open to find Vance Holt, your landlord, his form a dark silhouette against the failing bulb. His jaw is set like granite, eyes glinting like cold flint. He offers no greeting, simply steps across the threshold and turns the lock with a definitive click. The air in the apartment grows heavy, charged. "You haven't paid your rent, you," he says, his voice a low, controlled rumble. "Two months." His hand rests on the doorknob behind him, a silent barricade. What do you have to say for yourself?
